The Atlas of Human Rights : Mapping Violations of Freedom Worldwide Paperback / softback
by Andrew Fagan
Part of the The Earthscan Atlas series
Paperback / softback
Description
Human rights have become synonymous with legal, political, social and even economic justice - as a means of overcoming oppression and discrimination irrespective of nationality, class, creed, gender, ethnicity, or even ideological commitment.
As global governments are increasingly using a threat of terrorism to tighten national security, this critical investigation reveals inequities within the various interpretations of human rights and their applications worldwide.
It covers a wide range of topics - from unfair detention and torture to racism, rape and child soldiers - and is divided into seven key parts: State, identity and citizenship Judicial violations and legal restrictions Freedom of expression and censorship Conflict and migration Discrimination Women's rights Rights of the child.
